[TN-Bird] KY Long-tailed Jaeger

Kentucky Dam can be reached by traveling North on 1-24 toward Paducah.  At 
exit 31 go south on highway 453 take a left toward Kentucky Dam.  Once on the 
dam look to the left for the first pull off.  This has been the best viewing 
spot.  
Light and lake conditions will have a lot to do with finding this bird.  You 
WILL need a scope and you need to be patient.  The bird has been seen on the 
East side of the lake but it could be anywhere.  Scan the lake and look for a 
dark bird.  The bird is an intermediate plumage bird but appears to be dark 
when seen in flight.  It is smaller than a Ring-billed gull so you are looking 
for a small dark bird on a big lake. 
Good luck and let us know if you are successful.  I know there are birders 
traveling from other states to see the bird.  We will keep any information on 
KY 
Birdline.
